Chapter 27:
"Maoshan Cult?" Qin Ge took off his jacket while opening the door.
"Master Qin really knows what he's talking about," Old Liu Tou, who was sitting on the side, put down his wine glass, "I'm Liu Fengyan under Quanzhen Ma Chunyi's disciple, and this is my senior brother, the 104th generation of Maoshan's Palm Sect, Zhang Guozhong."
"Hehe... Sect Master..." said Qin Ge with a slight smile, looking at Zhang Guozhong, "How is Master Ma?"
"Master he...has already traveled to Immortality... "Zhang Guozhong lowered his head.
"Oh...sorry." Qin Ge symbolically apologized and walked over to the sofa to sit down. "I'm a scholar, to be exact I specialize in ancient Chinese jade, and I'm now teaching in the United States."
"That we already know, I wonder if your late night visit is a reminder of something?" Zhang Guozhong was not interested in Qin Ge's occupation.
"I'm just curious as to how much money the Wang family has promised you that it's worth the risk?"
After hearing this sentence, Zhang Guozhong naturally held a big red face, this Qin Ge, since he was Wang Zhongjian's friend, must also be a man of honor, wearing a gold watch (Qin Ge wore a real 18K Rolex gold watch, but Zhang Guozhong didn't see the brand, and didn't recognize it when he saw it, so he could only guess that it was a gold watch.) Driving is a small car, although the appearance of the earth a little bit, (Qin Ge also has a villa in Hong Kong, driving a 1961 version of the MG Rolex vintage sedan, with the Vatican Pope's private sedan is a model, if Zhang Guo-zhong know how much this car, will not feel dirt), but after all, is a rich man, and that Prince Howe before and after a total of only shelled out over 60,000 Hong Kong dollars, themselves and the old head of the Liu ass to run to Hong Kong! Come, and regardless of whether this time there is really dangerous, alone on the cheapness of labor, this person can not afford to lose. So Zhang Guozhong blushed for a while, wanting to say something.
However, at this moment the most uncomfortable or old Liu head, their own old man in Beijing and Tianjin two places call the shots when you old thing has not been reincarnated it, and now run to the old me I froze with charging the staff?
"I do not know, Master Qin you came all the way from the United States, is charged Mr. Wang how much carriage ah, think it will not be less than us?"
Old Liu Tou said this Qin Ge also froze, not realizing that he had wanted to give this pair of master and brother a downward spiral, but instead dug a pit and buried himself.
"I'm just curious..." although Qin Ge was upset in his heart, he still had to be a gentleman on the surface.
"We are more curious than you ah ..." Old Liu head is a typical "Wei mouth", at the moment open mouth staring, just like a vow to expose the essence of things expression, waiting for him to say this.
But at this time Zhang Guozhong can hear the Qin Ge words have something in them, "Mr. Qin, you said the danger, forgive the student's lack of knowledge, I hope to teach!"
With the old Liu head this piece of living treasure as a contrast, Qin Ge's impression of Zhang Guozhong is still quite good, know the book, respectfully, and then can pretend to be a garlic old pedant can't hold the three pats, even if Zhang Guozhong is young, after all, it is also a generation of Maoshan Sect Leader, he is a pat, Qin Ge immediately felt that his face is enough, "Sect Leader Zhang, if you really want to know the answer, come to my house tomorrow, I can't say here. It's impossible to say here."
"Call me Zhang well..." Zhang Guozhong honestly can not understand why these Hong Kong people have to put an hour can be resolved to make the problem stinks and long, there is something face-to-face can not say clearly, have to go to their own home to say ah, there is also this dragon see the head and not see the tail of the Qin Ge, just said so two sentences of nonsense and pat The hotel is not without a phone, alas ..., the rich ah, the situation of the wind is too harmful!
Qin Ge left a business card (Zhang Guozhong for the first time to see a business card this kind of thing): Hong Kong Chinese Foundation director of the United States of America, Washington, D.C., Fusak Sun Qi Lin private museum consultant Qin Ge, the back is printed in English and Chinese with the Hong Kong and U.S. residential address and phone number.
"Fusak Sun Chi Lin Private Museum in Washington DC, USA..." muttered Zhang Guozhong, "Foreigners come up with really fucking weird names..."
Taking a cab to a place by the sea, a few beautiful small villas were particularly eye-catching. "Can't figure it out, Hong Kong people love to live in the wilderness?"
The one who opened the door was a Southeast Asian woman, her waistline was thicker than Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou bundled together, but she spoke Chinese quite well. To the living room, the old Liu head bright, it seems that this Qin Ge is not a lamp, the same house of treasure, but for these things, the old Liu head or not much in the eyes of the single on their own hanging in the main hall of a picture of Li Zhaodao, "Spring Mountain Traveling Figure" is enough to buy his mansion plus half of the house of objects.
Qin Ge at this time more or less showed a bit of hospitality, a lot stronger than yesterday, but let a person look still unnatural, grimace, personally pour tea for the two people, "Sect Master Zhang, Mr. Liu, I found you guys love adventure."
"Cut the crap, we are just like you,...curious!" Old Liu was still pulling on yesterday's stubble.
Qin Ge didn't say anything, but took out an ancient map from the bookcase behind the sofa and spread it on the table. "Sect Master Zhang, I don't know if you understand the history of the Five Dynasties."
"Five Generations History?"
"Yes, it's the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms."
"Fairly understandable, does this have anything to do with that piece of jade from the Wang family?"
Qin Ge smiled and laughed slightly, and did not answer Zhang Guozhong, but focused his eyes on the map, "Do you know the secret of this map, Sect Master Zhang?"
Looking at this map, Zhang Guozhong suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, the layers of mountains and peaks of clouds were far away... Suddenly, the map in the porcelain vase in Zhao Le's stomach surfaced in front of Zhang Guozhong's eyes, although the era was different and the mountains were not painted in the same style, the approximate arrangement was similar, but this map was not as detailed as the one labeled in the porcelain vase, there was no road map with the seated Buddha. Is it a coincidence, or is there another mystery? Zhang Guozhong listened to every word of Qin Ge's analysis.
"This is an ancient map from the Later Jin Dynasty." Qin Ge was also secretly paying attention to Zhang Guozhong's and Old Liu Tou's expressions, "The Later Jin Dynasty only existed for ten years in history, but during those ten years, the imperial court searched and collected 60% of the total wealth of the entire society at that time."
This point Zhang Guozhong was aware of, although he didn't know the conclusion of 60%, where Qin Ge got it from, but during the Five Dynasties period, there was social unrest, and there wasn't a single decent emperor, all of them imposed exorbitant taxes.
"Later the Khitan destroyed the Hou Jin established Daliao, Yelu Deguang himself became emperor, and the establishment of the beginning of Daliao will be empty treasury, lasted five whole years."
"Which then what?" Zhang Guozhong queried, "You mean to say that Yelu Deguang was barbaric...?"
"Sect Master Zhang..." said Qin Ge with a wry smile, "I am asking you, where did the 60% of the treasure of the Hou Jin go?"
Zhang Guozhong was also dazed, he didn't know what kind of medicine Qin Ge was selling, where did the treasure of the Later Jin Dynasty go, and did it have anything to do with the matter of the Wang Family's ancient jade?
"Mr. Qin, I'm not interested in historical arguments, I only wish to settle the Wang family's matter as soon as possible, and return to the mainland before my students start school..."
"Sect Master Zhang, what you want to solve and what I want to do are the same thing, if you're really willing to take the risk, I can guarantee your interests."
"Mr. Qin, do you mean to say that you want me to help you find the so-called 60% of the treasure in Hou Jin?"
"Sect Master Zhang, Mr. Liu, look at this." Qin Ge took out a pen and paper, and wrote an ancient sentence on the paper: I am not sad about amputation, but I am sad about the precious jade and titled it as a stone, and the chaste man's name as a deceitful one.
"Both of you, do you know the origin of this sentence?"
"It was said by Bian He, a native of Chu, when he offered the Heshi Bi to King Wen of Chu." Zhang Guozhong had not yet chimed in, when Old Liu spoke listlessly.
"Mr. Liu is brilliant." Then he wrote (or to be precise, drew), "By the Mandate of Heaven, both life and eternity" in eight seal characters, "And this?"
"Mr. Qin, excuse me, I know the ins and outs of the He Shi Bi, including the history of Li Cong Ke's demise* and the disappearance of the He Shi Bi in the Later Tang Dynasty, so please cut to the chase, okay?"
"Then I now, formally invite the two of you to help me find this piece of state seal, I can reveal to the two of you, those treasures are worth a lot of money, even if Wang Zhongjian's old bones are dismantled and sold, they're not worth that much, and the things you promised that Prince Howe beforehand, you can also do it together along the way, if you're willing to help... "Qin Ge made a stern face and put the main topic, "What happened to that piece of jade of the Wang family, only I know, if you guys promise to help me, I can also help you guys, and you can also get a sizable amount of return."
This said Zhang Guozhong heart a move, honestly, Zhang Guozhong is also relatively lack of money, himself and his daughter-in-law a month's wages add up to 100 yuan out of the nod, but also have to hand over to the home of 20, to Li Erma that thin father sent 15, usually look at the unit of those who are much younger than their own eggs are pumping "Evergrande", but he is still pumping! "Da Qianmen", is very depressed, and Ma Zhenren life would like to repair Tongtian Guan, not too much, even if there is a dozen or two hundred thousand, can let yourself Tongtian Guan re-modeled, but also can complete the wish of Ma Zhenren, so that they are more or less get rid of a little bit of guilt.
And the old Liu head at the moment is thinking of another thing, this is carved with the He Shi Bi Qin and Han Dynasty seal of state, known as the national treasure of the national treasure, if you can see a glance in your lifetime, also counted not in vain to go on this journey.
"Both of you are smart people, the three of us working together will be beneficial to each other. I hope you two can make a decision today." Qin Ge was very frank and said these words, tilted his head as if relieved, took out a pipe and lit it.
Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou were completely baffled by this cloudy Qin Ge at this moment, the jade swan of the Wang family, the treasure of the Later Jin Dynasty, the He Shi Bi of the Warring States, the state seal of the Qin and Han dynasties..., this Qin Ge seemed to be singing a big opera, in fact, Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou were quite curious to know what kind of medicine Qin Ge was selling in his gourd.
"Then Mr. Qin, can you start with the Wang family's ancient jade?" Zhang Guozhong was never willing to owe others a favor in his life, since he took Prince Howe's money first, he felt that he should do Prince Howe's business first.
